As I start my year as OCULA presi-dent, I am grateful for the support and talent that surrounds me at this year’s council table.

Thanks must go first to Cynthia Williamson for stepping in as past-president, as Caroline Stewart has other obligations that prevent her from fulfilling this role. In addition to Cynthia, we welcome Vice-President/President-Elect 2012 Lynne Prunskus from Nipissing University/Canadore College and councillor-at-large Sarah Forbes from University of Toronto (Scarborough) as. Returning council members include: Jennifer Horwath (secretary) from Mohawk College, Kathryn Klages (treasurer) from Seneca College as well as councillors-at-large, Jennifer Peters from Seneca, and Cory Laverty from Queens. Paula Cardozo from Nipissing/Canadore also joins us as our new student resi-dent librarian.

There are also ex-officio members: Jonathan Bengtson from the Univer-sity of Toronto is our returning Super Conference co-planner and new this year is Cyndi Smith from Georgian College in Barrie, Brian Cameron from Ryerson, (editor of InsideOCULA and website/blog), our deputy editor Martha Attridge Bufton from

Working the master plan: Sheldon Levy, OCULA spotlight speaker

Lightning Strikes @ OCULABy Janice Mutz, Lakehead University

By Brian Cameron,

Ryerson University

In the past, Ryerson University turned its back on the city of Toronto and consequently the campus became almost invisible to people living and working in the downtown core. Ryerson’s president Sheldon Levy is determined to reverse this error and ensure that the university community fully engages with the city in which it “lives”.

Once again Super Conference hosted a lively OCULA Lightening Strikes ses-sion where future librarians presented on a variety of topics and the audi-ence voted for the winner.

Shelley Archibald (University of Toronto), Gary Collins (University of Western Ontario [UWO]), Danielle Cooper (University of Toronto), and Courtney Lundrigan (UWO) were the intrepid student presenters.

One lucky audience member won a flip video courtesy of the OCULA council but we all came away as win-ners having gained a fresh perspective on diverse topics.

Courtney was first up with a talk en-titled “Getting to Know GIS: A Glimpse of the Academic Library to Come”. She described her experiences at Ryerson University, where she had the chance

Levy was the OCULA spotlight speaker at the 2011 OLA Super Conference. As he explained in his presentation, theuniversity is implementing its award-winning master campus plan to achieve this goal and make everyone proud of the institution. The plan focuses on intensification, putting people first, and design excellence.

Levy pointed out that the university faces unique challenges and responsi-bilities that have a direct impact how successfully the plan can be carried out. In particular, Ryerson is the most urban university in Canada. Located in one of the busiest areas of down-town Toronto, some 28 million people walk past or through the campus an-nually. Plus, real estate in the neigh-bourhood is expensive so the price tag for new buildings is high.

to apply the geographic information system (GIS) skills she learned in a library school course to a real work situation. She discussed her learning curve with this skill, and concluded by showing us an example of a map she generated using these tools. It is clear that the demand for this type of geographic information will grow and that GIS will become more and more important in academic libraries.

Danielle Cooper spoke next and shared a thought-provoking look at the pros and cons of askON, the vir-tual chat service used by six Ontario universities. Danielle discussed “the good, the bad, and the ugly” from the perspective of am askON student volunteer. The challenges of such a service (e.g., learning numerous databases/interfaces/course topics from multiple institutions) as well as the benefits (e.g., such knowledge will stand a candidate in good stead at an interview), were outlined with good humour and Danielle concluded that, overall, her experience with askOn was positive.

Shelley Archibald’s “Reading Between the Lines: Transliteracy and Academic

Libraries,” introduced the concept of transliteracy, an idea that is just be-ginning to tweak the interest of library thinkers everywhere. This concept is

neither easily defined nor easy to place within an academic library environment so Shelley’s presentation provided just the introduction every-one needed to further explore this complex topic.

Finally, Gary Collins concluded the

session with the timely topic of space and academic libraries entitled “Out of Space: Challenges Associated with Changes to Academic Library Space in the Digital Era.” Drawing on his expe-riences at University Guelph-Humber, Gary discussed the shift to increas-ingly digital collections and how this affects different user groups and their interaction with our spaces. This is also a timely topic for most academic libraries and one with many implica-tions.

At the OCULA annual general meeting (AGM), the winner was announced: Courtney Lundrigan received the most votes and was awarded $200 and a one-year OLA membership. Courtney thinks that the experience was very useful. (See Courtney’s report on page 5).

Carleton University, and Eva Dods-worth from University of Waterloo is the contributing editor (access). This year’s group represents a variety of geographical and academic environ-ments; this can only enhance our organization.

Super Conference is still fresh in my mind and, in spite of the “snowmageddon” threat, it went off without a hitch. Thanks are in order to our fantastic Super Conference plan-ners Trish Weigel-Green and Jonathan Bengtson. Special kudos to Trish who was eight-and-a-half months pregnant and still kept smiling while coping with all the logistics.

For me, there were so many sessions at this year’s conference during which a light bulb went off, I saw an idea that I want to try, or I found out about research on a topic I find inscrutable. So, let me take this opportunity to thank all the presenters who put in the hours, slaved over PowerPoint presentations, and shared their

research, experiences, thoughts and views; we all benefited. Finally, the OCULA annual general meeting ran smoothly and (we hope) quickly, and ended with the presentation of the Lifetime Achievement award to Faye Abrams of OCUL; definitely a well-deserved award!

The call has already gone out for the 2012 Super Conference and I en-courage OCULA members to submit session proposals and suggest topics and/or speakers for consideration.

So, what are we working on now? The call has also gone out for a host insti-tution for the New Librarian Resident Award; this is the third and final year of the award and council is working to make sure it continues. We have received positive feedback from both the participating institutions and the successful candidates. We hope to have an update for you by the fall.

Spring has apparently arrived—al-though, as I write this in the throes of an early April snowstorm in northern Ontario, that seems implausible. This means that the OCULA spring dinner is not far off. University of Toronto (Mississauga) staff are hosting this year’s event which will take place on Wednesday, May 11.

Watch the OCULA website/listserv for more details. Plans are also coming together for a fall event, and we hope it will encourage our members to ven-ture a bit farther afield ... stay tuned!

In closing, let me say that it is an honour to be serving as OCULA 2011 president. I hope to meet more of you throughout the year at our various events but, in the meantime, don’t hesitate to contact me at jmutz@lakeheadu.ca with any questions or concerns you may have.

the corner of Gould and VictoriaStreets and ensured that 12 of the 24 AMC movie theatres at 10 Dundas Street East were built for use as uni-versity lecture halls. These rooms are now filled with students from 8:00 to 11:00 a.m. Monday through Friday. Likewise, the Ted Rogers School of Management (located at 1 Dundas Street West) would have been far too expensive for Ryerson to construct alone. However, in partnership with the Best Buy and Canadian Tire cor-porations, the university was able to complete the project.

In-progress projects include con-struction of the Ryerson Gallery and Research Centre. The centre is the home of the Black Star Historical Black & White Photography Collection, the largest cultural gift ever made to a Canadian university.

The university is also partnering withLoblaws to renovate Maple Leaf Gardens and provide more on-campus recreation space. Ryerson applied to have Maple Leaf Gardens designated a national park in order to qualify for

federal grant money. This innovative fundraising tactic was successful and the university acquired the building in 2009. As a result, Ryerson has moved from being ranked as the Canadian university with the least square foot-age of recreation space to the institu-tion with the most.

The librarians gathered were particu-larly interested hearing about the new student learning centre which will be built on the site of the former Sam the Record Man store at the corner of Yonge Street and Gould Street. Architecture firms Snøhetta and Zei-dler have jointly designed a building which, according to Levy, will “change Yonge Street.” Specific details and im-ages of this centre are available online at http://www.ryerson.ca/news/me-dia/spotlight/slc/

Levy has complete confidence that the implementation of the university’s master plan will ensure that the Ryer-son campus will become an integral part of Toronto’s downtown. “No one will ever not know where Ryerson is again.”

Levy argues that urban intensification (i.e., a high density of buildings, pop-ulation, etc.) must be integral to any of the university’s master plans in order to meet these challenges: the low-rise campus must give way to the vertical. However, he thinks that such a move needn’t diminish the place of people and the current plan gives priority to pedestrians and public transportation.

In addition to urban density, the university’s planning team is also committed to design excellence which means that some projects may be delayed if sufficient funding is not in place.

“Universities are forever,” he said. “Waiting three or four years to build something excellent is worth it.”

The university has been able to move forward with its building plans in part because of its collaboration with busi-nesses. “Everything is a partnership,” Levy noted.

For example, the university sold the air rights above its parking garage at

5Spring2011/No.43

Last summer, I went on the library school adventure of a lifetime: I took a course in the use of geographic information systems (GIS) in academic libraries. After a semester of frustra-tions and mapping victories, I realized that my views on academic librarian-ship had changed and that I had a top-ic to present at the OCULA Lightening Strikes at OLA’s annual conference.

Having missed last year’s Super Con-ference, I was determined to partici-pate in this year’s OCULA Lightening Strikes session. Each year, students who are in enrolled in either a mas-ter’s program in library/information studies or a library technician pro-gram in Ontario and have an interest in academic libraries can submit a proposal to present at this session and compete for the OCULA student award. Up to six applicants are cho-sen to present and the winner of the award is chosen by a vote of all audi-ence members attending the session and announced at the OCULA annual general meeting.

I knew that I wanted to talk about GIS use in academic libraries because it is on the rise but I found it hard to narrow down everything I wanted to share into a ten-minute presentation. In addition, I assumed that most of the audience would know nothing about GIS and therefore might not be interested in the topic so my main

Ten minutes came and went quickly. My presentation was well-received and I knew I had accomplished my goal of raising awareness about the use of GIS in academic libraries.

At the OCULA annual general meet-ing which followed our session, I was honoured to be chosen as the winner and to receive a $200 prize as well as a one-year OCULA membership. How-ever, the real reward I received that day was the professional relationships I created. I was introduced to so many wonderful academic librarians at the conference and it was great to meet my future colleagues and learn about their jobs. The valuable advice and encouragement that they gave me has certainly eased my mind about finding a job after graduation and joining the academic library community.

Plus, I will definitely think twice before I dismiss that next job posting for a GIS librarian. I look forward to collaborating with my former GIS pro-fessor, Eva Dodsworth, in the coming months to promote GIS in academic libraries. While it is unlikely that I will be the next great GIS librarian, I feel confident that I have the tools and support to promote GIS to my col-leagues.

challenge would be how to keep ev-eryone “electrified”.

In the end, my proposal was to take an approach with which I hoped that my audience could identify: how to learn GIS with no previous experi-ence. After all, I had found that GIS was not as scary to learn as I thought it would be—I had lots of help and could chose form a wide variety of web-based mapping tools—and the technology has certainly changed the face of mapping in academic research and everyday life. If I could learn how to use it, anyone could.

Having been selected to present along with three other students, I was quite nervous on February 3, the day of the Lightning Strikes session. Usually I en-joy public speaking, so this experience was a bit strange but I managed to convince myself that this presentation was no different than any of those that I had given in my academic ca-reer or even in the library classroom. I was relieved to see many familiar faces in the audience—library school peers, a former co-worker from New-foundland, current colleagues from my Ryerson University Library family, and even my GIS professor—and this tremendous support from my profes-sional network helped me relax.

2011 OCULA Lifetime Achievement Award Winner Faye Abrams

By Nathalie Soini, Queen’s University

Faye Abrams is this year’s OCULA Lifetime Achievement Award winner. Faye is the project officer for OCUL (Ontario Council of University Librar-ies).

Mike Ridley, CIO and chief librarian at the University of Guelph, believes that Faye has been able to achieve “the

stature, influence and respect” of her colleagues and to “transform libraries and universities at a provincial and even a national level.” Through her work at the University of Waterloo Library with IBIS and UWinfo, and her implementation of CISTI Source for the Tri-Universities Group (TUG), Faye has demonstrated an innovative ap-proach to technology and moving the world of “academic libraries into new territory.”

Anne Fullerton, Faye’s former col-league at the University of Waterloo, emphasises her commitment to the profession. “Faye always has time to chat about professional issues and she listened well before sharing her opin-ions. I think that’s why she ate lunch in the staff lounge—to engage in

issues.”

In 1999, Faye left the University of Waterloo to become the OCUL proj- ect officer. As Mike Ridley stated in his nomination letter, in this role she “coordinated the work of collections librarians from around the province to facilitate common negotiating strat-egies and consortial purchasing result-ing in stronger digital collections for all faculty and students in Ontario”

Faye’s list of OCUL related accomplish-ments is amazingly long and very impressive and OCULA is not the first organization to recognize Faye’s dedi-cation. She also received the 2007 OCUFA Academic Librarianship award.

Congratulations Faye!

7Spring2011/No.43

While I am proud to be OCULA’s 2011 new librarian resident, I’m not new to working in an academic library. Prior to undertaking my master of library and information science (MLIS) at the University of Western Ontario, I worked for three years as a library technician at the Education Centre Library (ECL) serving Canadore Col-lege and Nipissing University. Last October I had completed my MLIS and returned to the ECL as the student success librarian.

A big decisionAlthough I have loved libraries my whole life, I never considered work-ing in one until I noticed a job posting for a technician at the ECL. I loved my new job and began to believe, for the first time in my life, that I had found a career. Nevertheless, the decision to go to library school was not an easy one. In fact, I thought about going to library school longer than I was actu-ally in the master’s program! There were a number of factors that com-plicated the decision. To pursue my MLIS I would have to leave a steady job I enjoyed, coworkers I would miss terribly, and a community that had been my home for a decade. The prospect of no income for a year with no guarantee of one when I finished was also not particularly encouraging. Plus, I was dragging my husband along for the ride.

Asking the right questionsAnyone who has provided reference

services knows the importance of ask-ing someone else the right questions. However, there are times when we also have to ask ourselves the right questions too. In the case of deciding whether or not to pursue an MLIS, I asked myself, “Why do I want to be a librarian?” Although the answer seems simple, it took me a while to realize that I wanted to continue to work in academic libraries but I also wanted new challenges, opportuni-ties, and responsibilities.

What has changed?One of the most noticeable differ-ences between my old position as a technician and my new one as a librarian is that I now spend more time in meetings and teleconferences. While the meetings are interesting and forward the goals of the library, I have less time to tackle a heavier and more complex workload. I admit that I am struggling with the nagging feeling that I am never doing as much as I should be. When I expressed this sentiment to my mentors, I was told that this is completely normal and that I will be feeling this way for the next 20 or 30 years! On a positive note, I enjoy being more autonomous, particularly when it comes to priori-tizing my own responsibilities, and I have learned that academic libraries and the institutions they serve are not as simple as I had once assumed.

It’s complicated…I am finding it interesting to be a librarian at the institution where I worked as a library technician. On one hand, I have not had to adjust to a new library system, institution, or coworkers. On the other hand, I am making the transition from technician to librarian in full view of people who know me very well and sometimes I

feel an increased pressure to prove myself. I also worry about the para-professional professional divide. Do my experiences as a library techni-cian enable me relate better to my paraprofessional coworkers? Or have I placed myself on the other side of an “us vs. them” situation? Most importantly, how do I explain the dif-ference between my old position and my new one without devaluing para- professional work? There are no easy answers to these questions.

No regretsSometimes I wish that I had found librarianship sooner in my life. I wonder where I would be career-wise if I had entered library school straight from my undergraduate degree. Upon further consideration, how-ever, I am glad that my path has not been a smooth one. The road I have taken has prepared me for my cur-rent position and I am convinced that being a library technician has been a tremendous advantage for me. When I went to library school, I already had a solid foundation upon which to build the rest of my career. My para professional experiences enriched my studies and continue to enrich my professional practice.

Starting a dialogueWhile I was able to find a fair amount of information on the benefits of re-cruiting paraprofessionals to librarian-ship, I have not found it easy to locate information about what happens after library school. Jennifer Peters, my fellow OCULA council member, is one librarian who has been talking and writing about making the transition. We have discussed collaborating in the future and are interested in hear-ing from other librarians with para-professional backgrounds.

Confederation College(Submitted Sharron Forshaw)Confederation College’s Paterson Library Commons hosts a party!

As we began the month of February, winter was starting to take its toll on our faculty and students. There were still several weeks until spring break, and we were all tired. Our library staff was com-pleting a long six months of work developing our virtual libguides, and we had just reached our goal of having a libguide for every program at the college—quite an accomplishment for a small staff, we thought, and one worth celebrating. However, we wondered how we would roll out this new research tool to ensure the greatest awareness in our college community.

We decided a mid-winter party was in order, so we combined our ‘Libguide Launch’ with Valen-tine’s Day and held our event on February 14. To cover all bases, we advertised throughout the college, and the library consultants sent out personal invitations to all faculty in their programs. Then we decorated, baked, and bought food in keeping with our Valentine’s Day theme, includ-ing a heart-shaped ‘Love your Library’ cake. It turned out to be a great idea, and good timing too, as everyone seemed in need of a break. We were surprised by the response—a full-house with standing room only!

Library staff gave a demonstration of the new libguides, followed by a question period. During the informal “meet and greet” time that followed, all library consultants had laptops and were avail-able to give one-on-one instruction sessions to faculty and students in their specific programs. The response and interest level, particularly among faculty, was fantastic. Comments and the post-party emails received were very positive, and library staff are still hearing compliments on both the libguides and the party.

In fact, we are so encouraged now that maybe next year we’ll try for another mid-winter event!
